5I knew you in the wilderness,in the land of great drought. 6According to their pasture, so were they filled;they were filled, and their heart was exalted.Therefore they have forgotten me. 7Therefore I am like a lion to them.Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path. 8I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs,and will tear the covering of their heart.There I will devour them like a lioness.The wild animal will tear them. 9You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me,against your helper.
